▼ Persistently improving certain performance characteristics of products, like functionality, reliability or usability, may make for difficulties in consuming those products, which is the situation of overshooting (Christensen, 1997; Chen, Reilly and Lynn, 2012; Lukas et al., 2013). Overshot customers may consider products as too complex to use, too expensive to buy, too functionally advanced, or too good to have(Christensen, 1997; Thompson, Hamilton and Rust, 2005; Lukas et al., 2013). Prior researchers take overshooting seriously for it may give opportunities to disruptive innovations from the low-end market of the overshooting products (Christensen, 1997; Schmidt and Druehl, 2008b; Hang, Garnsey and Ruan, 2015a; Christensen et al., 2018). However, it is against our common sense that people would be overshot by getting too much of a good thing. Many disruptive innovations' successful disruption over incumbent products, like microscope surgery’s disruption over traditional surgery, are not because incumbent products are too good for customers (Klenner, Hüsig and Dowling, 2013; King and Baatartogtokh, 2015; Zhang, 2015). Moreover, people with intensive demand on certain product performances, like high-end customers, should be hardly satiated by product performance improvement. However, high-end disruptions are still existent and consequent to incumbent’s overshooting on certain performance trajectories of product (Christensen, 2006). This research is thus motivated by those confusing issues to rediscover the mechanisms of overshooting, its antecedents and consequent disruptive mechanisms, and suggest about the coping strategies to overshooting. To achieve the research aims, a longitudinal case study with embedded units of analysis is resorted as natural experiment about an incumbent company and its interactions with three rival disruptors in the higher education market for learning management system. Prior theories and deductive themes are triangulated with the emergent patterns from case data to arrive at a more realistic perceptions towards the problem of overshooting. Also, the theory of path dependence process (Schreyogg and Sydow, 2011) as the underlying mechanism and structure of overshooting will act as the theoretical lens to make sense of overshooting process and its consequent disruption. This research further clarifies from demand perspective that overshooting is decomposable into two dimensions which are ‘compromised performance’ and ‘nonabsorbable performance’. The two dimensions of overshooting may lead to trade-off-reversing disruption and trade-off- breaking disruption as consequences. Also, this research further reveals from supply perspective that there are three different antecedents prior to three different forms of overshooting and consequent disruptions throughout the three-staged overshooting process of a path-dependent organisation (Schreyogg and Sydow, 2011). The coping strategies to overshooting are suggested to vary according to the different stages of overshooting process and the decomposed…

▼ The increasing awareness of, and concern over, possible terrorist attacks using biological threats has increased attention and efforts for safeguarding U.S. agriculture. Whether intentional or unintentional, a biological event likely would cause substantial consequences well beyond the U.S. agricultural sector with considerable economic, social, and political costs. One significant impact would involve trade disruptions. This dissertation investigates biosecurity risk impacts with a focus on animal disease outbreaks using data from recent U.S. and Canada bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) cases. An empirical study was carried out on the impact of the North American BSE cases. Using a time series approach, this study detected a significant structural break during the second half of 2003 when two BSE cases were confirmed in North America. Results showed that U.S. beef prices responded to the disruptions in cattle and beef trade caused by the BSE cases. The ban on beef and cattle imports from Canada and the ban on U.S. beef exports were major contributors to the fluctuation in beef prices. This showed that trade disruptions following the BSE discoveries in North America resulted in a supply shift and affected the movement of beef prices afterwards. The study did not find strong evidence that the 2003 North American BSE cases and associated trade disruptions greatly affected per capita beef consumption. In turn, a simulation study was conducted to examine the impact of major BSE outbreaks, associated trade disruptions, and demand shifts on U.S. welfare and the livestock industry. Six alternative scenarios were simulated and compared with the base scenario where there was no trade disruption and demand shift. The six scenarios consisted of various combinations of cattle and beef trade restrictions, livestock production adjustment, and beef demand shift. When beef and cattle trade, and market demand are greatly reduced in the wake of the BSE events in both Canada and the U.S., the impact on the U.S. welfare, meat trade, and regional livestock production would be the greatest. Beef price and production could reduce by 26% and 16% respectively. Regional impact on beef and livestock production would also be substantial in this case.

▼ Phytosterols are naturally occurring compounds which regulate membrane fluidity and serve as hormone precursors in plants. They also have the potential to cause endocrine disturbances in aquatic animals at concentrations as low as 10 µg/L. Wastewaters from several industries which process plant matter can contain phytosterols at concentrations in excess of the above-stated level. Despite their endocrine disruption potential, very little is known about phytosterol physical properties and their biotransformation potential in biological treatment systems. Aerated stabilization basins (ASBs) are common biological treatment systems in North American pulp and paper mills. ASBs are large open lagoons which use tapered surface aeration to remove COD and prevent sulfate reduction in the water column. Phytosterols are released from wood during the pulping process and a small fraction enters the wastewater stream during washing of the pulp. Therefore, phytosterols may be exposed to aerobic or anaerobic environments depending on their solubility and solid-liquid partitioning behavior. The overall objective of this research was to systematically and quantitatively assess the biotransformation potential of phytosterols in biological treatment systems and to examine conditions leading to reduction of these compounds in wastewater effluent streams. The results of this research showed that phytosterols are sparingly soluble with aqueous solubility below 1 µg/L when present as a mixture. Phytosterols have a strong affinity to adsorb to solids and dissolved organic matter. The affinity for aerobic biomass was greater than for wastewater solids. The stigmasterol desorption rate and extent from wastewater solids increased with an increase in pH from 5 or 7 to 9. Phytosterols were biotransformed under aerobic conditions but not under sulfate-reducing or methanogenic conditions by stock cultures developed in this study. Biotransformation under nitrate-reducing conditions could not be confirmed conclusively. The continuous-flow system was successful in removing 72 to 96% of phytosterols. Biotransformation accounted for 23, 14 and 41 % of campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol removal, respectively. Phytosterols accumulated in the reactor sediment and accounted for 97 % of the total phytosterols remaining in the system. Phytosterols can be removed from wastewater streams during biological treatment by a combination of biotransformation and solids partitioning and control of system pH, DO and available carbon and energy sources can increase the degree of phytosterols removal. The results of this research can be used to engineer effective biological treatment systems for the removal of phytosterols from pulp mill wastewaters and other phytosterol-bearing wastewater streams.
